The box is nice and simple, with a black grey and yellow design, which is typical of all ASUS TUF Gaming and TUF Gaming Alliance products. There’s a large image of the monitor on the front, and the rear of the box is the same too.

Down the side, a bundle of cool badges telling you all the awesome features; HDR, 280Hz, 1ms, etc.

Inside the box, the monitor is well protected with a two part foam insert, pretty standard for any monitor these days, and it works well. Right, now lets get it setup!
